Crooked Fingers - Let's Not Pretend lyrics

You can waste your precious time Trying to erase all your thin little crimes Making no waves, tiny drops in the ocean Why trade old habits for new found devotions When you can shed your skin And slither in with some new friends Cover your homes Put a hat on your head Paint everything blue that used to be red We'll jump in the river In the black water brine Down to some treasure that they left behind You may get rich Or maybe you will drown So let's begin The question is not if, but when And let's not pretend to be new men You can change your shirt Scrub off the grime and the dirt Walk by the mirrors, don't look at yourself And pull all your sinister ways from the shelf 'Cause you did what you did And you did it so well Say that you won't, but you'll do it again They could not trust you before And they won't trust you now Oh, they won't trust you now So go out, repent Go be sorry now, for your sins And let's not pretend Oh, let's not pretend No, no, no no Let's not pretend Oh, let's not pretend Let's not pretend to be new men Let's not pretend Oh, let's not pretend Let's not pretend to be new men Let's not pretend to be new men Let's not pretend to be new men Let's not pretend to be new men
